The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, recently shared a video in which several pastors say women should no longer be allowed to vote, prompting one progressive evangelical organization to express concern.

Hegseth reposted a CNN segment on X on Thursday that focuses on pastor Doug Wilson, a Christian nationalist who co-founded the Idaho-based Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), In the segment, he raises the idea of women not voting.

“I would like to see this nation being a Christian nation, and I would like this world to be a Christian world,” Wilson said.

Another pastor interview by CNN for its segment, Toby Sumpter, said: “In my ideal society, we would vote as households. I would ordinarily be the one to cast the vote, but I would cast the vote having discussed it with my household.”

You wonder why the Secretary is kicking women out of combat because it is against his religion!

Pete Hegseth defended himself against accusations of sexual assault, alcohol abuse and mismanagement on Tuesday and vowed to “restore the warrior ethos” to the Pentagon as he tried to convince senators of his fitness to serve as President-elect Donald Trump’s defense secretary.

Hegseth, a 44-year-old Army National Guard veteran and former Fox News host, faced a divided Senate Armed Services Committee, with Republicans praising him as a fresh face that will shake up Pentagon bureaucracy and Democrats denouncing him as woefully unqualified to lead an agency with a nearly $900 billion budget and 3 million employees.

“Admittedly, this nomination is unconventional, the nominee is unconventional,” said Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., the chairman of the panel. “That may be what makes Mr. Hegseth an excellent choice.”

Casting himself as a “change agent,” Hegseth said it was time to give someone from an atypical background, “with dust on his boots,” a chance at the top Pentagon job. He dismissed the accusations against him as a “coordinated smear campaign” by the media. “I’m not a perfect person but redemption is real,” he said. “God forged me in ways that I know I’m prepared for.”

But his views on women in the military?

Later in the video, Wilson says he does not believe women should hold leadership positions in the military or be able to fill high-profile combat roles.

A statement from Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell on Saturday said Hegseth “is a proud member of a church affiliated with” the CREC.

“The secretary very much appreciates many of Mr Wilson’s writings and teachings.”

Hegseth and his family were in attendance at the Wilson church’s inaugural service in Washington in July, according to CNN.

I am always amazed that Christians lie under oath! They swear to uphold the Constitution but they put their religion before their oath to obey the Constitution... it is like they have a little "asterisk" saying only if it doesn't I don't like it and I can say it is "against my religion.

Democratic women on the committee took sharp aim at Hegseth for his previous remarks on women, who he has said should not serve in certain combat roles and are less effective in those roles than men.

“You will have to change how you see women to do this job well, and I don’t know if you are capable of that,” she said. Hegseth denied he ever disparaged women and said his concern was with what he believes are slipping standards and gender quotas. He said he would conduct a review of the requirements for combat positions if confirmed.

His views on women would send us back tot he 1950s!

Hegseth’s Tacit Endorsement of Disenfranchising Women Should Alarm Every American

Hegseth’s ties to a Christian nationalist movement that rejects women’s suffrage expose how extremist views are fueling real policies aimed at undermining women’s political power.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth retweeted a CNN interview last week with Christian nationalist pastors from the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), in which they argued that women should not be able to vote. In the interview, church co-founder Doug Wilson reduces women to “the kind of people that people come out of” and sneers that “it doesn’t take any talent to simply reproduce.” Other CREC pastors in the video argue that families should cast a single vote—decided by the man.

It took nearly a week, and much public criticism, for a spokesperson for Hegseth to clarify that “of course” he supports women’s right to vote. That’s too little, too late. 

This was no fringe rant from the manosphere. CREC has more than 130 affiliate churches around the globe, and Hegseth is a member of a CREC-affiliated church in Tennessee. He recently attended the first service at Christ Church, D.C., the newest church in the network.

CREC’s doctrine is clear: It teaches that wives should submit to their husbands and allows male church members to cast church votes for the whole household. Wilson says that adopting the 19th Amendment—which granted women the right to vote—was a “bad idea.” 

[...]

We can’t treat Hegseth’s embrace of Doug Wilson and CREC as harmless or a fringe curiosity. Every time these ideas go unchallenged, they become a little more mainstream, and the distance between talk and policy shrinks. That’s why we need to call it out—loudly, clearly and often. If we stay silent, anti-women policies like the SAVE Act will keep moving forward until they’ve erased decades of progress. 

This is the future that Trump & Company are working towards! Bring the "Handmaid's Tale" to life.
